Create Customers/Prospects from Email Messages

When the PDiCRM service locates emails with the matching subject assigned to one of the form submission definitions, it will populate the email message table. This grid will display all emails waiting to be used to create customers or prospects.

 

Select the type of records to create, either customers or prospects and press the Load Messages button. The grid will load with all the records that have not been processed.

 

An individual record can be selected to "Process", or multiple records can be selected, and the [Turn "Process" on] or [Turn "Process" off] buttons are used to block select.
